British comedian Russell Brand has posted a video denying “serious criminal allegations” set to be made against him in an upcoming television program.
“But amidst this litany of astonishing, rather baroque attacks, are some very serious allegations that I absolutely refute,” Brand said.
"These allegations pertain to the time when I was working in the mainstream, when I was in the newspapers all the time, when I was in the movies.
"And as I’ve written about extensively in my books, I was very, very promiscuous. Now, during that time of promiscuity, the relationships I had were absolutely always consensual.
…
ruh roh, Russell.
During the last 5 years Brand has fallen gradually into a QAnon-esque rabbit hole, and all this new-age-spirituality stuff has been the gateway.

David Pakman made a good video about Brand, that also came up to my mind. But yeah, Brand is a grifter.

I followed Brand’s turn during COVID, and his YouTube methodology felt like a calculated attempt at a digital personality cult of sorts. Between language he used, the constant reinforcement of revelatory in-group thinking, the leader-as-peer-but-really-leader self-characterizations, the topics and tropes conveniently serving his professional career, it all seemed to be a deliberate construction of an online personality cult to harness COVID disaffection, general malaise, and conspiracy thinking.
One interesting thing about Brand today is that he’s not as quick and exuberant as he once was, and so you can much more easily see the scaffolding and calculation. He’s now repellent instead of rakish.

New age spirituality is basically just narcissism and psychopathy.
It’s funny too when people use it as a one up or to feel like they have the upper hand. It’s like seeing a cracked out person talking to themselves and twitching.
He’s bipolar and has legit mental illness; the same as Musk. Both of them would do less harm to society if they were on effective meds.
Source?
Yeah, I take issue with your point. Mental illness doesn’t make a person dangerous to society automatically. Mental illness makes a person much more likely to be a victim of abuse rather than the perpetrator.
One of those actors that I always had a feeling was a creep
I love how he’s claiming that he’s being silenced yet he hasn’t said anything worth listening to since he’s because a rich elite himself.
Who the fuck is silencing him? He was on all the UK shows a few years ago and eventually it was tanking the ratings.
Nobody is stopping him from saying whatever he wants. I just don’t care about his weird ramblings. If he’s on TV I am not watching.
Not being given a soapbox does not equate to being silenced.

“Comedian”, right… not a conspiracy theorist, grifter and a total fucking cunt
Didn’t Russell brand go fully anti-vax
He’s so famous that the third bullet point is being married to another famous person.
Inside you… 🎶🎵
No one cares.
You’d be surprised how many people care about things like sexual assault victims or simply celeb gossip. Either category, there’s lots of people who care.
